Rik van Riel ba2f156eaa null_blk: fix UBSAN shift-out-of-bounds when zone_size is 0 or overflows
commit 95491fb051 upstream.

null_zone_no() does sect >> ilog2(dev->zone_size_sects). When
zone_size_sects is 0, ilog2(0) returns -1, producing shift exponent -1
which UBSAN reports as shift-out-of-bounds.

  UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in drivers/block/null_blk/zoned.c:21:14
  shift exponent -1 is negative

Syzkaller triggers this by creating a zoned null_blk device via
configfs. The Call Trace shows configfs_write_iter in configfs/file.c
handling a write to power file, which calls nullb_device_power_store in
main.c, which calls null_add_dev in main.c, which calls add_disk in
genhd.c, which triggers partition scan via bdev_disk_changed in
partitions/core.c.

A zoned null_blk device with zone_size 0 should not be legal. Existing
code tries to reject it via is_power_of_2() check in zoned.c and
!zone_size check in main.c, but syzkaller can still reach
null_zone_no() with zone_size_sects 0 via two paths:

1. Direct 0 via configfs: zone_size attribute store in main.c has
NULLB_DEVICE_ATTR(zone_size, ulong, NULL) with no validation callback,
so echo 0 > zone_size succeeds before power store. If zoned is false
at power store time, the !zone_size check in main.c is skipped, and
later zoned set true leaves zone_size 0.

2. Large value overflow: mb_to_sects() in zoned.c does
(sector_t)mb * SZ_1M >> SECTOR_SHIFT which is mb * 2048. If mb is
1UL << 53 (9PB), mb * 2048 overflows 64-bit to 0. The value is
power-of-two so is_power_of_2() passes, but mb_to_sects() returns 0.

Check for zero zone_size explicitly in null_init_zoned_dev() in
zoned.c, returning -EINVAL with "must be non-zero power-of-two".
Check for zero zone_size_sects after mb_to_sects() conversion,
returning -EINVAL for overflow case. Keep defensive check in
null_zone_no() returning 0 for zero sectors to avoid shift out-of-bounds
even if  zero slips through.

This change should be safe because zone_size is set once in
null_init_zoned_dev() under device lock and never changes after, and 0
is never valid for a zoned device. Returning -EINVAL at init time fails
device creation early with clear error, while defensive return 0 in
null_zone_no() makes zoned command fail via offline zone check.
No new locking is introduced.
